Introduction
The Egas Moniz Higher School of Health (ESSEM) Undergraduate Degree in Dental Prosthetics is very practical right from the start, due its structure and 3-year duration, and combines solid theoretical know-how with state-of-the-art technology. Oral health care is a concern everyone has and nowadays, cosmetic dentistry takes on an increasingly greater significance.
